SARAH A. STORN, n/k/a SARAH S. ANTHONY, Former Wife, Appellee/Cross-Appellant. ______________________________/ Opinion filed June 16, 2008. An appeal from the Circuit Court for Duval County. Linda F. McCallum, Judge. Sandra J. Mathis, Michael L. Scheve and Patrick J. Kilbane of Rogers Towers, P.A., Jacksonville, for Appellant/Cross-Appellee. Homer A. C. Bliss, Jacksonville; Michael J. Korn and Mary C. Coxe of Korn & Zehmer, P.A., Jacksonville, for Appellee/Cross-Appellant.

PER CURIAM. Appellant/Former Husband appeals the trial court's final judgment dissolving the parties' marriage, distributing their assets, and denying his request for alimony. Appellee/Former Wife cross-appeals, contending that the court erred in its equitable

distribution scheme. Because we find merit in some arguments raised, we reverse and remand for the trial court to reconsider its equitable distribution order. We affirm all other issues raised by the parties. The parties were married for over 30 years. During this time they, along with their employers, contributed to various retirement accounts and plans. Appellee properly concedes that the trial court overlooked two of these plans -- her pension from Morgan Stanley and a Traveler's Annuity which she received while working at Burdine's -- from its distribution of assets. The Morgan Stanley pension is properly marital property, as is a part of the Traveler's Annuity. See
